 I know there is a "green" bearing that fits the EM. I have one. It has no
identification as to Manufacturer, or part number. I do not know if there is
one that fits the FC. The "green" bearing is manufactured by Green
Manufacturing Co. They are in essence, just a flange bearing. Their
dimensions and appearance is identical to the Hyatt bearing.  Pictures
showing the physical difference would be difficult. The inner bearing race
does stick out from the seal 3/16-1/4 inch on the outboard side, as opposed
to nearly flush on the Hyatt. If you are holding it in your hand, the inner
race is firm in its position on the "green" bearing, as opposed to having
radial flexibility for self aligning on the Hyatt.

So,
 
  Does anyone have - or can they point us to a location with comparison
pictures (and possibly a description) so that someone does not end up paying
premium prices for "green" bearings?
 
I've had only LMs, till I got the Rampside.  I don't know a lot about EMs.
There may be others in a similar situation.  Who would want to admit to
paying the high price for the wrong item?  Well, I've not done that but only
because I know there is a difference, BUT I don't know how to tell whcih
from which?  Clear?  So - I don't bid.
 
Attachments (if any) are scanned with anti-virus software.
 
Later, JR
